Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional PSTN-based security system 100 is a telephone network-based terminal system by connecting terminal systems 101 and 103 to a dial-up server of a security service provider through a telephone line of a dedicated line or a general line. When the abnormal signal is detected, the control server 105 transmits a signal (control information). This approach provides redundant configuration of circuits, remote control, and a variety of sensing capabilities to create a reliable system.

For this reason, since PSTN-based systems must be monitored remotely using only one-dimensional information on the area to be guarded, it is impossible to proactively cope with crime and can only be checked and acted on by security personnel in case of an accident. Correct coping is virtually impossible.

Therefore, in the next generation security service model, as image information is required to identify the situation and take quick and accurate actions on the situation, a system using a high-speed communication network (for example, the Internet) is required instead of the conventional PSTN method.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the local control server 230 and the local control client 260 of the system shown in FIG. 2.

First, when the power is supplied to the control terminal device 210 to operate the system, the control terminal device 210 first performs a mutual authentication process with the local control server 230 (S11).

An example of such an authentication process is shown in FIG. 5. Referring to Figure 5, the authentication process, first, the control terminal device 210 is issued a certificate through an authorized certification authority (S111).

Subsequently, the control terminal device 210 having received the certificate has the information of the stored local control server 230, and attempts to access the local control server 230 to request a certificate exchange (S112).

When the control terminal device 210 and the local control server 230 exchange mutual certificates, each of the control terminal device 210 and the local control server 230 confirms the mutually exchanged certificate through a certification authority. It is made (S113).

If one of the certificates exchanged by the control terminal device 210 and the local control server 230 fails authentication, the control terminal device 210 or the local control server 230 indicates an authentication failure. (S114).

On the contrary, when mutual authentication is confirmed, the control terminal device 210 and the local control server 230 select an encryption algorithm for data transmission and reception, generate and exchange a symmetric key, and complete the mutual authentication process. .

In step S11, when authentication is successfully completed, the control terminal device 210 receives information (eg, an IP / PORT number) about the local control server 230 from the local control server 230 ( S12).

When the initial setting is completed by receiving the information on the local control server 230, the control terminal device 210 enters the control release mode, and local control (for example, a control method using an RF card / keypad). Or it waits in a remote control (for example, the control method by a local control server) (S13).

If any control request is transmitted locally or remotely, the control terminal 210 analyzes the requested control content locally or remotely and performs this (S14). The control request includes an administrator mode, alert mode entry, image information transmission request, pan / tilt camera angle and distance control, ON / OFF of an indoor light that facilitates grasping image information at night, and detection of a sensor or an intruder. It includes control of various home appliances and office equipment such as warning lights, ON / OFF of emergency bells, other doors, air conditioners and boilers.

After the execution of the control request is completed or if there is no control request, the mode of the control terminal device 210 is identified and the sensor information automatically detected in the boundary mode is transferred to the IP and PORT of the designated local control server 230. Transmit and wait for a local or remote control request again and repeat the above process (S15).

If the mode of the control terminal device 210 is the release mode and the boundary is set in the partial boundary mode for performing the boundary only in a designated place even when the boundary is not set, the sensing state of the sensors of the corresponding area is detected and detected. The information of the sensor is transmitted to the local control server 230 as in the border mode. Since the same process is also repeated (S16, S17, S18).

Next, operations of the local control server 230 and the local control client 260 will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

The mutual authentication process between the local control server 230 and the local control client 260 is the same as the authentication process of the local control server 230 and the control terminal device described above (S21).

The local control server 230 transmits the information of the local control client 260 to the control terminal device 210 after the authentication with the local control client 260 is finished (S22).

When receiving the information of the local control client 260 from the local control server 230, the control terminal device 210 by providing the sensing information and image data by the sensors to the local control client 260 In operation S23, the area control client 260 may monitor a control area of the control terminal device 210.

When the local control client 260 generates a remote control signal for remotely controlling the control terminal device 210, the remote control signal is controlled through the interface of the local control client device 260. ), The control terminal device 210 controls the respective parts under the control of the control terminal device 210 according to the control signal (S24, S25).

The local control client 260 continuously monitors the control area through the control terminal 210, and when a detection signal detected by any sensor is transmitted from the control terminal device 210, the sensor detects the detected area. The control terminal device 210 may be requested to transmit image information of a camera installed at a location (S26 and S27).

When receiving the requested video information from the control terminal device 210 according to the video information transmission request, the user of the local control client 260 can visually confirm that the sensor sensed. At this time, the transmission request of the image information is always available during monitoring, and after checking the image information, it is possible to perform remote control or request dispatch service after determining the situation (S28, S29).

Therefore, according to the communication network-based security and video control automation system according to the present invention, through the construction of a wide bandwidth environment, the video control method is supported to enable multi-dimensional control, and the authorized user is connected to the high-speed communication network to the external environment. Through authentication, you can check the results of video control / sensor operation in real time. In addition, the present system supports the control of information appliances or office automation equipment, thereby providing a more efficient security system.

As described above, according to the present invention, through the ultra-high speed communication network, it is possible to realize a communication network-based security and video control automation system that can provide security and video control services in real time.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated concretely by the above-mentioned Example, this invention is not limited to this, A deformation | transformation and improvement are possible within the range of common knowledge of a person skilled in the art.
